Saving ammunition

When facing enemies on Skull Island, you should always try to save ammunition. Find bones, sticks, and spears, but do not throw them. Just get up close and press Fire.

More effective spears and bones

Spears and bones are more effective when lit on fire.

Easily killing smaller dinosaurs

Use the following trick to kill a smaller dinosaur, such as the Velociraptor, easily. Throw a spear directly in its neck or head. Note: The spear does not need to be on fire.

Easily killing Venatosauruses

If there are bushes where it is standing, use a fire spear or bone to burn it alive.

Easily stun V-Rexes

While fighting the V-Rexes with Kong, press Y then quickly press A towards the V-Rex to stun them for a short time. This will allow you to attack them without being hit.

Distracting T. Rexes

It is not possible to kill T. Rexes when you are a human. The only exception is the smaller version of a Rex in The Cave mission. Other than that, all your guns and spears can do is distract the T. Rex to come after you instead of your comrades. In most missions you must have the T. Rex come after you so that your comrades can open a door or complete an objective of some sort. Do not waste all your ammunition on a T. Rex. A few rounds of fire should be enough to distract it.

Killing V-Rexes with Kong

The very first time you fight the V-Rexes, there is a ledge which you can climb onto so they cannot attack. However, once you are up there, you will be attacked by the flying dinosaurs. They are not hard to defeat. When you are up there, go into Fury mode by repeatedly tapping Y until Kong smacks the ground. While in Fury mode, attack the V-Rexes one at a time. After you have hit one of them three times with A, they will be temporarily knocked out. You can then perform a finishing move by repeatedly tapping B or A. If done correctly, Kong will snap the V-Rex's jaw in two or throw it.

Lever locations in Hayes level

In this level, you will come to a cave entrance with spiders surrounding a tree stump to the left. Ignore it for now, but this is the location of one lever. After you defeat the Raptors (kill them with flaming spears), light a spear on fire and burn the brush to the left of the gate while facing it. This will unveil the second lever. Grab a spear or bone, stab a dragon fly, then go back through the cave where the spiders were. Throw the bait to the right so the spiders leave the tree stump and you can obtain the other lever.

Easily killing natives in On The Raft level

Once you get to the point where there are natives on top of a bridge throwing spears at you, you can kill them easily by picking up a spear, lighting it on fire, then throwing it at the supports. You can also throw the spear at the bushes surrounding the bridge.
